Chapter 66 Emperor Jiajing in the Sauna
In Xiyuan, a side hall next to the Longevity Palace is filled with mist and steam.
Huang Jin endured the high temperature and wiped his sweat while serving Emperor Jiajing.
Emperor Jiajing lay comfortably in the large bath with running water, and his face was rosy due to the heat, but he was not at all afraid of the hot power of the tiger in the August autumn.
Huang Jin stood behind Emperor Jiajing while wiping his sweat and enduring the high temperature.
Emperor Jiajing, who was enjoying himself in the pool, turned to look at the sweaty Huang Jin and suddenly smiled.
Emperor Jiajing smiled and said: "You, you are still not good at practicing. Look, my immortal body is immune to cold and heat."
Huang Jin quickly replied: "The emperor is an immortal, This servant is just a mortal without spiritual roots, how can he dare to compare with the emperor?"
Emperor Jiajing also felt happy when he heard Huang Jin's words.
Since he moved to Xiyuan, he felt that his cultivation level had greatly improved. Not only had he become invulnerable to cold and heat, but he was also extremely energetic.
Therefore, Emperor Jiajing always believed that his current state was a reflection of his success in cultivation.
But in fact, his current state should be that he has taken too many elixirs, which has caused physical dysfunction, so he is not afraid of the cold and heat and soaks in the pool in this August autumn weather.
However, I have to praise Emperor Jiajing's good physical condition. He can still be alive and kicking after doing this every day.
If this were other emperors who cultivated immortality and took pills, they would probably kill themselves within a few years.
The Emperor Jiajing practiced cultivation for decades and lived to be sixty years old before he died.
This shows that Emperor Jiajing's physical fitness can be said to be extremely talented.
If he were not superstitious about cultivating immortals and took these pills regularly, maybe he would not have a problem living to eighty or ninety years old.
Unfortunately, he just believed in the path of immortality and immortality.
Emperor Jiajing moved his body comfortably and said with emotion: "San'er will still enjoy the blessings. Look at this bathroom. I built it after the new bathroom renovated by San'er. It's really comfortable!"
After soaking in hot water, Emperor Jiajing was not afraid of the cold and went to soak in the cold pool.
This alternation between hot and cold made Emperor Jiajing feel so comfortable that he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Huang Jin also quickly moved to the cold pool at this time. At this moment, he felt the slightest coolness coming out of the cold pool. Huang Jin also felt like rain, and he almost cried out in comfort.
While soaking in cold water, Emperor Jiajing asked again: "What are San'er doing these two days?"
Huang Jin replied: "Prince Yu recently went to Shunyi. After a trip to the industrial park, Anzi reported that Shunyi Industrial Park should be put into use in the near future.”
When Emperor Jiajing heard that Shunyi Industrial Park was finally going to be put into use, a smile appeared on his face. .
"Not bad, not bad. After working for so long, it's finally over. I can't wait for a long time."
Huang Jin also followed Emperor Jiajing's words and said: "Yes, Emperor, this industrial park is really great." It’s easy, it’s finally built. I believe that with this industrial park, Prince Yu will definitely be able to make more money for the emperor.”
When Emperor Jiajing heard about the money, he couldn’t help but show his happiness. smile.
After being in charge of the family for so many years, Emperor Jiajing has truly experienced what it means to be difficult.
Money is needed to defend Anda from the north, money is also needed for the expansion of the capital, money is needed for the salaries of the officials, and money is needed for cultivating immortals themselves.
Moreover, once there is a disaster, flood or drought, money will still be needed. However, the imperial court's tax revenue of only seven to eight million taels a year seemed to be insufficient no matter where it was spent.
Two years ago, some ministers suggested taking back the Hetao, but when the accounts were settled, it turned out that it would cost two million taels of silver in military expenses, and there was no guarantee that it could be defeated. This made the then Emperor Jiajing My face couldn't help but turn dark.
The imperial court has a lot of money. It is not enough to spend. How can it dare to squeeze out another two million taels of silver and waste it?
And the Loop is so far away, and if you capture it, you have to spend money to defend it. If you don’t defend it, wouldn’t it be a wasted battle?
Therefore, after a thorough calculation, Emperor Jiajing also rejected the plan to recover the Loop, and tried to maintain the status quo first, and then talk about recovering the Loop after the court's tax revenue improved.
Anyway, the Loop was not lost in his hands, but in the hands of his imperial uncle, Emperor Xiaozong, Zhu Youtang. His eldest son, Emperor Zhengde, struggled for sixteen years and defeated Yingzhou. The war didn't even come back.
What's more, Emperor Jiajing, the emperor who inherited the throne from a side branch, was naturally weaker than his predecessor. If you want to get rid of the unruly ministers, but instead pick up the scams that are risky and thankless, then there is something wrong with your brain.
So the Hetao land was recovered several times after Emperor Xiaozong, but it never lasted long.
Aside from Emperor Jiajing's laziness, the biggest reason was lack of money.
If you have money, who wouldn't want to be an emperor who makes great achievements and regains his old land?
Unfortunately, strength does not allow it.
Now that Zhu Zaijing has made a lot of troubles, he not only made money, but also made a lot of money.
How could this not make Emperor Jiajing happy and excited?
Although most of the money is still in Zhu Zaijing's palace, as long as it is not in the Ministry of Household Affairs, Emperor Jiajing felt that the money belonged to him.
As long as you need it, how can your son not be filial to me?
And in the past few months, Emperor Jiajing has also received tens of thousands of taels of share through Huang Jin, which almost made Emperor Jiajing smile crookedly.
I haven’t been this happy for many years.
This shows that Zhu Zaijing has become a money tree in the eyes of Emperor Jiajing, so whenever there is nothing wrong, Emperor Jiajing can't help but ask Huang Jin what Zhu Zaijing is doing now.
Huang Jin has now figured out the habits of Emperor Jiajing, so he will check the information immediately if it is from someone secretly in Prince Yu's palace, and then prepare for Emperor Jiajing's inquiry.
After Emperor Jiajing soaked in the cold pool for a while, Huang Jin handed over a large towel, rolled it up to his waist, and said, "Follow me to the sauna and sit."
Huang Jin heard this Emperor Jiajing wanted to sit in the sauna, and his face turned pale with fright, "Your Majesty, please spare this slave. I am a lowly mortal and cannot bear the high temperature of the sauna."
Emperor Jiajing After hearing Huang Jin's words of begging for mercy, he couldn't help but snorted, "You are still too bad. When I really want to ascend to the upper world in the future, you haven't cultivated enough yet. How can I take you to the fairy world with me?" "
Huang Jin quickly said with a flattering smile: "The emperor will be a true immortal at that time. If you enlighten the servant, won't the slave be able to follow the emperor and ascend to heaven together? "
Jiajing? When the emperor heard what Huang Jin said, he immediately laughed again and felt that what Huang Jin said made sense.
Therefore, Emperor Jiajing no longer forced Huang Jin to enjoy the sauna with him, and went in to enjoy it by himself.
